; by a unanimous vote:
WHEREAS, Under the disciplinary limit
we are compelled to sever the rela-
tions existing between us and our
pastor, Rev. j. r. Westwood, whose
earnest labors have excited our
warmest feelings of approval and
commendation, therefore,
ReSolred That we part with our pas
! tor with great reluctance and regret.
His eloquent presentation of Gospel
truth, his faithful and unwearied dis
, charge of the duties of the pastorate,
and his constant efforts to promote
every interest of the church, temporal
and spiritual, have greatly endeared
him to us as pastor and friend, and we
realize that the tie which has bound
us has been no common tie, but one of
intimate union and Christian fellow
ship.
ReSolred, That we unitedly pray for
his success and prosperity in his new
field of labor, that God may album
dainty bless and prosper the work of
this faithful servant of OIIr Master
